Ibn Battuta, a Moroccan scholar, embarked on a 30-year journey starting in 1325 to perform the Hajj. He traveled 75,000 miles, visiting regions under Muslim rule, including North Africa, the Middle East, India, and China. In India, he served as a judge in Delhi. Despite being impressed by China's beauty, he found it unappealing. After returning to Morocco in 1349, he continued traveling to Spain and Mali. His travels were documented in the 'Rihla,' a manuscript commissioned by a Sultan. Ibn Battuta's journey remains one of history's greatest, showcasing his desire to explore the world.
